Andrew Macphail, comp. The Book of Sorrow. 1916.

From ‘The White Moth’

Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch (1863–1944)

IF a leaf rustled, she would start:

And yet she died a year ago.

How had so frail a thing the heart

To journey when she trembled so?

And do they turn and turn in fright,

Those little feet, in so much night?
